Legacy Projects > Carroll County High School Township Basketball Books + SignsCarroll County High School Township Basketball Books + Signs

Carroll County High School basketball histories celebrate the history and community support for each local basketball team. Each township high school basketball team is researched, printed, and sold to raise awareness of early to mid-20th century community competition between the county high schools. The book proceeds raise money to manufacture and place a professional two-sided sign memorializing and celebrating the importance of each school during the township basketball team era. Proper marking of each Carroll County township high school informs people, of Carroll County and the state of Indiana, of the historical importance of learning institutions prior to consolidation into the two modern school systems of Carroll County.
